Ideas for Maya animation

#1

hey cg users, i need some help for a project. Im a sophmore in high school and we have to create an indivudual project, i chose to create a 3d animation using Autodesk Maya. I’ve never used Maya before, but I bought the book and have started learning things such as modeling NURBS and polygons. I have until the end of april/ beginning of may to come up with an animation. The video should be approximatley two-three minutes long. I’m in desperate need of ideas because my teacher is demanding progress. can someone please give me ideas. P.S. i can use matchover, adobe premiere, and other adobe products, as well as autodesk inventor.

Well wait, I typed out a really long response but I feel this is more important, how familiar are you with animation? Have you even done a bouncing ball? Don’t get me wrong, I think you could easily make a nice 2-3 minute animation by May if you work really hard, but how familiar you are with animation will tell me what I need to tell you. Like whether you need help using maya, learning animation, or you just need help coming up with an idea. (or all of the above)

I’ve done some basic animation with 3ds max. And I bought the mastering Maya 2011 book so I have a good source of animation techniques. All I really need is an idea. I want to do something visually appealing.
